From what I've read, you can't just ground it on that model.
You can either wire it properly to the parking brake wire (dig around the forum here, the info is out there, I just don't have it at the ready), or you can get a bypass. The PAC TR-7 will work and is around $15 US, give or take, depending on what sources you have for purchase. Or you can search for "alpine microbypass" and the cost is probably around the same.

If rocker switches are about $10, and you can pick up a micro bypass for about $15 instead, I'd consider the $5 to not be wasted if it saves the hassle of having to dink around with switches every time I wanted to utilize features on my radio.
